To bring the idiots here up to speed on insurrection: The Trump rally on Jan 6 WHICH BY THE WAY WAS A CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED PUBLIC MEETING, had almost a half a million people there. If LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP had wanted an insurrection, he would have ordered that ENTIRE CROWD to do it. These things would have happened. 1. Capitol Hill would have been burned to the ground. 2. Pretty much most if not all of Congress would be either dead or in the hospital. 3. Pretty much most of the Supreme Court would be dead and their offices burnt down. 4. The Joint Chiefs of Staff would be dead, leaving the military with only the Commander In Chief to lead them. At that time, it was still LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP. 5.Trump would have made himself KING of America. He would have the nuclear launch codes. He would have control of the military. There would be no more elections.
NONE of that happened. So there was no insurrection. You might call that little romp in the Capitol an insurrection. That just means you're stupid and you don't know anything.

Donald Trump deliberately incited a terrorist act against the USA in 'protest' against the election being 'stolen' from him (the foundation for the Big Lie).
It was treason, terrorism AND insurrection all in one. Irrespective of what the US constitution says, Trump showed total disrespect to the Executive branch of government and to the country he claimed to serve when unfortunately in the top office.
@zonavar68 That is a lie. If LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT Trump wanted a riot, he would have directed that half a million strong crowd to do it and Capitol Hill would be gone. The only big lie is UNELECTED JOE'S PRESIDENCY. It's about as legitimate as if he shot his way into power. Only an idiot thinks he won those 81 million votes.
@Reason10 Sorry Joe Biden lawfully won the 2020 election by securing a winning number of electoral college votes. Facts do not care if you do not like them 8-)
@zonavar68 there was supposed to be a legal review on jan6 and the dems manufactured an insurrection, forcing the hearing to go without objections. Make no mistake. Pence was in on it.
@zonavar68 having faithfully served this country for better than fifteen years and sworn to support and defend the constitution of this great nation and to defend it against its enemies both foreign and domestic I would hope every duly elected president of this great nation would act in accordance to their oath and perform their sworn duty as my commander and chief did on January 6th.
@needsmilk808 Donald Trump has never served in the military and is not fit to be Commander in Chief. Donald Trump attempted to start a new civil war and tried to hide behind the Office of President to give himself immunity from prosecution for being directly responsible for the deaths that occuring during the Capitol riot on Jan 6 2021.
@MasterLee that is correct, before Joe Biden could be confirmed all issues that were brought to the floor in congress had to be investigated prior to his confirmation. Congress is guilty of misprision for not returning to the normal order of Congress upon their return and completing their constitutional duty of investigation. I think the speaker of the house knew what was required and intentionally chose not to do it.
